Floral Design Division Classes

Souvenirs from The Grand Tour were plentiful which created its own dilemma. No space for all the beautiful mementos from the trip! So, travelers became masters at finding small trinkets and treasures.

Classes 7 and 8 are both Miniature Design Classes. Class 7 is for Novices only. Novices are defined as someone who has not won a blue ribbon in the Floral Design Division at The Newport Flower Show.

Miniature designs may not exceed 5” in any direction.
